Public sector banks have emerged as the largest financiers of new mortgages over the past four years, drastically altering the market dynamics in the home-loan segment and forcing a reshuffle of the industry leader-board earlier tilted toward private lenders.
Over the past four years, governmentowned banks have steadily accelerated market share, data published by credit bureau CRIF Highmark showed. For PSBs, the share of new home loans by value rose to 43% in FY25 from 34% in FY22. Analysts attribute the expansion in the share of business for public-sector lenders to competitive rates and government initiatives to boost home ownership.
As per the June 2025 Financial Stability Report (FSR) of the central bank, in FY25 the overall credit growth of PSU banks outpaced that of private banks after more than a decade, with home loans being among the primary growth drivers in the retail loans category. Mortgage pioneer Housing Development Finance Corp (HDFC), merged two summers ago into the bank it spawned and gave its name, had begun India’s financed home-ownership culture in the 1970s, and had a dominant share for decades in the mortgage business, where mainstream lenders were relatively late entrants.

Meanwhile, the data also showed that private banks’ share fell to 29.8% from 42.6% in the period under consideration.

The spike has coincided with a sharp correction in the broader market, with the Nifty 50 declining about 8% during the same period. The escalation of tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran has intensified market anxiety in recent days, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher and triggering a global risk-off sentiment. However, analysts note that volatility had already been building even before the conflict escalated, reflecting broader concerns around global growth, foreign capital outflows and stretched valuations in equities. The heightened uncertainty translated into a sharp ...
